I see what you're saying, just remember that the MR paintjob is a factory paintjob i.e. not done by hand, so you'll never get 'exactly' the same look, just paint up your armour using the suggested colours or whatever you feel happy with, you can always weather your MR lid a little more to match

Gator, there are several threads of armour paint-ups including one by me? If you do a search then you will see how others have painted theirs using layering techniques and some topical.
As Joe said the finish on the MR is factory.

My advice is look at the threads and determine your technique that you feel more comfortable with.

OH and look at plenty of ref...
Let me know if I can be of further help
